• Supporting both VEthernet <strong>and</strong> vEthernet ports<br />

Port profiles that are configured as uplinks can be assigned by the server administrator to<br />

physical ports (a vmnic or a physical NIC [PNIC]). Port profiles that are not configured as<br />

uplinks can be assigned to a VM virtual port.<br />

Note<br />

Manual interface configuration overrides the port-profile configuration; it is<br />

recommended to use this method for temporary changes or configuration changes.<br />

Port profiles have two states, enabled <strong>and</strong> disabled. When a port-profile state is disabled,<br />

the port-profile has the following behavior:<br />

• Its configuration is not applied to assigned ports.<br />

• If exporting policies to a VMware port group, the port group is not created on the<br />

vCenter Server.<br />

When a port-profile state is enabled, the port-profile has the following behavior:<br />

• Its configuration is applied to assigned ports.<br />

• If inheriting policies from a VMware port group, the port group is created on the<br />

vCenter Server.<br />

Note<br />

The default state of a port-profile is disabled.<br />

A port profile can have the following characteristics defined:<br />

• ACL<br />

• Capability (uplink, l3control)<br />

• Channel-group<br />

• Description<br />

• Inherit<br />

• Default, resets characteristics to default settings<br />

• Interface state (shutdown/no shutdown)<br />

• Name<br />

• Netflow<br />

• Port-security<br />

• Private-VLAN<br />

• QoS policy<br />

• State (enabled/disabled)<br />

• Switchport mode (access port or trunk port)<br />

• System VLAN
